so....some sneak peaks for the Summer ScrapJam Contest over at http://www.scrapbookingfanatics.com/ ! i cannot post any of my layouts due to the rules ...the winning layout will get posted in Canadian Scrapbooker. We are getting tons of goodies to play with too! This week a box of goodies from Upsy Daisy! YESSSSSS!

you know me and my techniques...i used some BG rubons on the naked chipboard and then on the parenthesis, i gobbed rubber cement on it and then painted it with MM copper glaze. When it was dry, i rubbed it with my finger until it began to rub off and then inked it...gave it a cool distressed look. I also coved the bazzill flower with pp and sanded it and then did the mirrored letters in photoshop.

I got tagged again by Nicole and Kelly! Let me see if I can muster up so more quirky stuff about me.

Let's see.....
1. I am not a fan of nicknames, we have a friend who is naming their kid two special names (first and middle) to call the kid a completely different name? why not just name them the name you want to call them? ah, hello?

2. We are 99% sure we are moving to the Reading area, probably closer to Philly, my fav city!

3. i love the beach but hate the sand.

4. i love when people touch my feet!

5. i have my MBA and probably going back to get my master's or my phd hopefuly by 35.

okay, i don't have anyone left to tag! so those facts are on me!
